Tucked along a tranquil lake in Pathways at Watersound, 229 Sandchase Circle pairs designer interiors with a private backyard oasis. Lake views from the pool and screened porch, and courtyard and green space views from the front, set the tone for relaxed Emerald Coast living. This 2018-built Craftsman has a welcoming front porch with lantern lighting and mature oaks. Inside, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and 2,659 heated square feet are filled with designer finishes. Hand-painted and silk-dyed wallpaper adds warmth and texture. Statement chandeliers, upgraded ceiling fans, curated cabinet hardware and premium plumbing fixtures complete the look. The open floor plan connects the chef's kitchen, with its quartz island, gas range and stainless appliances, to the shiplap-accented living room and formal dining area. A mudroom drop zone and a laundry room with a sink keep everyday life organized. The first-floor primary suite offers a walk-in closet with built-ins and a spa-style bath with a soaking tub, a frameless glass shower and a quartz double vanity. A second main-level bedroom with a nearby full bath makes an ideal guest room or office. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, a bath and a flexible sitting room for fitness, media or play. The backyard is a private oasis. A sparkling pool and paver patio with a fire pit overlook the lake. The screened porch, with fans and a TV, extends the living space for year-round enjoyment. The extended garage has room for vehicles, golf carts, storage and hobbies. Watersound Origins is one of South Walton's most coveted communities. It offers tennis and pickleball courts, a resort-style pool, a fitness center, walking trails, a basketball court, unlimited golf, dock access to Lake Powell and expansive green space. The turquoise waters and sugar-white beaches of the Emerald Coast are just minutes away.
